Answer 1

Answer:

Solar energy in India is at its peak. More and more private and government agencies are now looking to make maximum use of available sunlight. Considering the geographical location of India, it receives abundant sunlight throughout the year and is well-distributed which can be harnessed at local level and give rise to decentralized energy generating systems. There are number of options available for using solar energy for generating heat and electricity. Application of solar thermal power plant and solar photovoltaic power plant is currently being explored. Other small and decentralized application by using solar cookers, steam generators, solar water heater is already being used widely. This has particularly been beneficial in areas with no grid connected power supply like rural areas

Benefits of usage of solar energy
